Five days without smoking!

That is awesome you quit smoking! I quit 6 years ago and I am so happy I did! :)

P.S. Do you remember me Clark? I remember you from some other board years ago. I know you had a daughter, can't remember her name but how is she doing?

I remember all girls, of course! How have you been?

And yes, I have four daughters actually, my oldest and meanest is the one you are referring to though, she's the only one that's been on any board, being a good bit older than my younger daughters., lol.

Erica,aka Twitch, and she's doing ok, although we aren't very close these days.
 
And thanks guys, I'm holding up ok...it's been over a month and really and truly it hasn't been as hard as I imagined it would. Or maybe age has just left me better prepared to deal with habit-breaking.
 
I am, dp, thanks. Its been two months in a couple more days or so.

It's been the little mental associations of certain times of day or activities with smoking that have( finally) worn off a little at least. Which has helped a lot. The biggest thing I've focused on has been trying to remain as chilled out and stress free as possible----I figure if things get stressed or tensed, I will use that as a little self-justification to grab one of the damned things, lol

The lack of tobacco/nicotine itself was actually the easiest part oddly enough. I just eat a lot of oranges and truck on.:cheers:

Thanks for asking guys...it has helped encourage me.

I smoked 2 1/2 packs a day for 36 years but at 5:45 am 10/27/1997 on the way to have a couple of small non smoking related pollops removed from my larynx I threw them away and never touched another one. The reason I bring this up is that its tough but a lot of us have done it and you can too. Stick with it. Very good luck.

Hell, for enough hugs I will give up drinking next.....





(Eh, on second thought, it would take more than just a hug. heh. (*wink*)


Nah, I'm kidding, babe and thank you. And I'm still hanging tough. Although this heat is weirdly making me want to smoke more than I have at any time since I quit. Must be some sort of heretofore unrecognized mental association I'm making between heat=smoking. Idk.
 
And yep, I did just use "heretofore unrecognized mental association" in a sentence. I knew that would happen sooner or later.


Lack of nicotine is making me crazy, maybe.<_<

Keep up the good work, my father had quintuple(5) open heart bypass surgery over 10 years ago and he still smokes to this day so I know how hard it is for someone to quit but you're doing your family and yourself a huge favor in helping prevent going through something like that.

Stay strong!
